In the summer of 2011, Wang Zhonghua from China achieved an unusual achievement.

You could say that the man has conquered gravity. Of course, not literally, but figuratively.

The Chinese man "held the flag" for 65 seconds.

We are talking about performing a very complex element of strength gymnastics.

What did Wang Zhonghua do?

The gymnastic element is performed as follows: you need to grab the vertical bar or the bars of the wall bars with both hands and lift your body so that it is located perpendicular to the earth's surface.

Maintaining this kind of lateral balance is very difficult because it involves a lot of muscles.

A person without a serious level of training is unlikely to be able to make a “flag”.

And Wang Zhonghua was able not only to perform the element, but also to keep his body parallel to the ground for quite a long time.

The "flag hold" lasted for 1 minute 5.71 seconds.

The figure turned out to be a record and, of course, was not ignored by the compilers of the Guinness Book of Records.
